Supply chain finance has become an interesting research topic which attracts lots of attention from scholars recently, particularly after the global financial crisis. However, only few studies have examined the causal relationship between supply chain finance and firm performance. More specially, there is a big research gap when almost none of existing research has analysed the nonlinear impact of supply chain finance on firm performance. With this aim, this paper succeeds in giving first empirical evidence on the U-shaped nonlinear relationship between supply chain finance and the performance of seafood firms in Vietnam. Specifically, a bad performance of supply chain finance (the increase in cash conversion cycle - CCC) causes a lower firm performance (FP). Nevertheless, if any decrease in firm performance reaches its minimum (CCC*), the restructuring of the firm will gradually improve it. In addition, firm performance is significantly influenced by controlled variables of firm-specific, firm size (SIZE) and capital structure (CAP), and macroeconomic, economic growth (EG), factors. The findings are valuable for the management as well as scholars in bringing a more comprehensive perspective on the causal relationship between supply chain finance and firm performance.

This paper investigates the impact of financial leverage and supply chain finance on firm performance of Vietnamese construction sector. Although there is a big gap in the literature needed to be filled, little empirical evidence can be found on this interesting topic. Therefore, the results are essential for Vietnamese firms, particularly those in construction industry. By adopting the generalized method of moment (GMM), the results reveal the significant influence of financial leverage and supply chain finance on the performance of construction firms. In particular, firm performance (FP) is more influenced by financial leverage (FL) than supply chain finance (SCF). The findings also show that supply chain finance plays a key role in enhancing firm performance. Meanwhile, more debts and their inefficient use exert a negative impact on firm performance, which is an unprecedented finding of this study.

The objective of this paper is to assess the impact of supply chain linkage on the performance of aluminum profiles enterprises in Northern Vietnam. After qualitative research results, the research team has discovered a new variable in the linkage model which is the Policy linkage. The study performs official quantitative research on 289 aluminum profiles in Northern Vietnam and the results were analyzed on SPSS 22 and Smart PLS 3.0 software. The results indicate that the links in the supply chain include: Supply linkage, customer linkage, policy linkage and internal linkage all contribute significantly to supply chain management efficiency. Moreover, the supply chain management efficiency had a positive effect on business performance of aluminum profiles in the northern region of Vietnam. Finally, the study gives solutions and recommendations to help aluminum bar enterprises shape the northern region of Vietnam to better link in the supply chain and improve business performance.

Vietnam is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Asia-Pacific region and its tourism industry has been growing unprecedentedly over the past few years. However, the Vietnamese tourism industry (VTI) is concerned with the weakness competitive factor. This paper aims to analyze Green Supply Chain Management Practice (GSCM) and its effect on the destination image of Vietnam as the way to improve the completeness. The paper seeks to examine internal environment management (IEM) practices; external environment (EE) and environmental regulation (ER), as possible drivers to GSCM practices and its destination image. The empirical analysis used data from 269 questionnaires which were valid for analysis, through applying the PLS- SEM method. The result of path analysis indicates that the path between internal environmental management and GSCM practice in the VTI was highly significant; internal environmental management (IEM) had a significant impact on the external environment and also had a significant impact on destination image in VTI. The external environment has also maintained a significant impact on the GSCM practices of the VTI and on destination image in VTI. There is also a positive relationship between GSCM and destination image in VTI. As a result, it can be concluded that all hypotheses are supported. This paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the findings from the study for tourism managers.

The article was conducted on 529 textile enterprises in the Vietnam Textile and Garment Business Directory 2018 with the aim of assessing the impact of global supply chain management practices on competitive advantage and operational efficiency. After using PLS - SEM analysis techniques on Smart PLS 3.0, the results show that the global supply chain management practices of Vietnam's textile and garment industry had a positive impact on the performance of Vietnam textile and garment enterprises. In addition, competitive advantages such as Customer Loyalty, Employee Satisfaction and Corporate Reputation had no intermediary role in the relationship between global supply chain management and operational efficiency in Vietnamese textile enterprises.

This paper is intended to evaluate intermediary role of SCI in the relationship between supply chain management practices (SCMP) and supply chain performance (SCP) and, at the same time, to examine the regulatory role of firm size and transformational leadership in this relationship. The research is conducted on 536 Vietnamese textile and garment enterprises and the results show that SCI had a complete intermediary role in the relationship between SCMP and SCP. Additionally, Size and Transformational leadership also play statistically significant regulatory role in the relationships between SCMP and SCI as well as between SCMP and SCP. Accordingly, it is recommended that enterprises should implement SCMP well to improve the effectiveness of SCI and SCMP, contributing to sustainable development and ensuring requirements of global supply chains.

This study aims to examine the causal relationship between foreign direct investment, exports and economic growth in Dong Nai province, Vietnam from 1999 to 2019. The study uses several economic models such as Vector Auto Regression - VAR (p), Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and Granger causality tests to evaluate relationships between research model variables. The results show that foreign direct investment and exports have the positive effects on Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP). Therefore, this study recommends some policy implementation to simulate the foreign direct investment. Particularly, the policy makers in Dong Nai province should be aware of the role of foreign direct investment and export incentive policies, which is an important driving force for the socio-economic development of Dong Nai province, Vietnam.

This study focuses on measuring the impact of trade agreements on Vietnam's rice exports based on secondary data sources produced by the General Statistics Office, the World Bank, and International Monetary Fund. Structural gravity model was employed for analyzing and quantifying the impact of trade agreements on rice export of Vietnam. The results show the impact of Trade Agreements on Vietnam’s rice exports is relatively low and not all Agreements bring positive effects. Based on the findings, we give some recommendations for Vietnam's rice export to adapt more to the contents and standards of the Trade Agreements and will be participating in the future.

This study is carried to analyze the factors influencing the attracting resources for urban development in a case study in Vietnam.
